Hi all
This is my first post on this forum so please be gentle.
We have a 2001 Atoz and I want to do the simple task of changing the alternator belt.

Not so simple, there are three belts.

I know what they are for, Alternator, air con and power steering. And I know which is which.

What I can't figure out is how to loosen the power steering belt (the bottom one) to be able to get the alternator belt off.

Do I have to get under the car for that one and do it from below?

Any assistance anyone can offer will be great as the squeeling belt is starting to annoy everyone now.

Thanks
Andy

we had same problem but one turn on the alternator adjuster cured it but you have to loosen the pivot bolt on the alternator to allow it to move then tighten back up when you have finished
trouble is they are a flat groved belt so need to be very tight unlike v-belts

We just spray the belt with 'belt dressing spray' -available from most tradesman type hardware stores. Run the engine then lightly spray onto the driven side of the belts. leaves a slightly tacky deposit on the belt and pulleys cutting out slip and squeeks
